So sorry for your loss. May you find comfort in the words spoken at Revelation 21:3,4
“With that I heard a loud voice from the throne say: “Look! The tent of God is with mankind, and he will reside with them, and they will be his people. And God himself will be with them.
And he will wipe out every tear from their eyes, and death will be no more, neither will mourning nor outcry nor pain be anymore. The former things have passed away".

Sue Ella,Bobby, Christy Kaye,
I am so sorry for your loss. Ima Jo was Martha Sue and J.C, best friend from when they were growing up went to school together, played cards ran around and had kids together. Ima Jo was like a mom to me growing up, I really didn't like it when you guy's moved to El Dorado because we did not get to see each other very often. Jo found us later on facebook through Staci and Mike's facebook page.When Donna Sue passed away I had a hard time finding her to let her know, and 4 months later Martha Sue passed. Jo was the last of Martha Sue's friends to pass and I will miss her voice she would call me when she saw Karie, or Andrew Mason and Reagan on facebook where Staci had posted something about them. She would tell me Martha Sue would be over the moon with my grands and so proud of them,and I know she would I can honestly say Jo and Martha Sue were so proud of their kids grandkids and great Sadly. Martha Sue did not get to know Mason but she and Jo would have said he was just the spitting image of me and get's into as much trouble as I did, he never stops going and playing and running his mouth, he is my buddy and my baby boy , Reagan is my youngest and she is my baby too, Mike and I are so lucky to have a great kid in Staci and her kids. I wish Jo had gotten to see them she would have loved them like her own. She would call me to let me know about you guys and I loved talking to her, I will miss those calls. I will try to keep in touch with you guys as much as possible. I want you to know I will miss Jo very much she was the only one of Martha Sues friend I really was close to.
Please let your family know how much she meant to me.
As always your friend in Little Rock. I will pray for the peaceful repose of the soul and for the peace of Christ to all of ya'll
My grands will say a prayer and light candles for your family at mass. Mary paula Smith

I’m so sorry for your loss.. She was a good lady and I enjoyed visiting with her (on the computer). It seems she kept her wits and sense of humor far longer than most. Keep her memory close..
